I can see a generational shift where one of the next few gens just breaks off and goes back to analog tech, libraries, in-person communities, hand written content, etc. Some will go hardcore offline, most will only use the internet as the need arises (GPS, work/legal documents, weather app level things.)
But for the vast majority… the internet is devolving into Idiocracy. The next centuries will be the AI stupid/dark ages with wars started over disinformation.
Or maybe climate change shrekts us in the next 50 years.
